Chance-constrained optimal control of a gas-to-power system (Doctoral Seminar)

VeranstaltungsortN.2.01Veranstalter Institut für StatistikBeschreibungWe are concerned with optimal control strategies subject to uncertain demands.Taking uncertainty into account becomes more and more importantin many areas. In the context of the energy transition in Germany, a need forcontrol strategies taking these uncertainties into account naturally arises.Deviations from the demand actually realized need to be compensated,which might be very costly and should be avoided. To this end, we considerdifferent approaches to control the amount of gas withdrawn from anetwork at a given time to meet an uncertain power demand stream in anoptimal way. To enhance supply reliability, we require demand satisfactionat a prescribed probability level, mathematically formulated in terms of achance constraint. The stochastic optimal control framework has been setup in . The gas flow trough the pipelines is modeled by the isentropicEuler equations and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is used to model the uncertaindemand.

Tragedy as an instrument of therapy for combat veterans

VeranstaltungsortN.1.71AAUVeranstalter Institut für PhilosophieBeschreibungIn his seminar lecture he focuses on the ancient Greek epics and tragedy as an instrument of therapy for combat veterans. He critically assesses a valuable methodological approach inaugurated by the American psychiatrist Jonathan Shay (1995). According to Shay, ancient Greek theater was a theater for combat veterans by combat veterans to and for combat veterans…It may have offered a form of cultural therapy for an audience traumatized by the effects of war. Shay’s approach was picked up by many American scholars who work with combat veterans either as therapists (e.g., Nancy Sherman) or as directors and organizers of reading performances (e.g., Peter Meineck, Bryan Doerries).Vortragende(r)Prof. Jaroslav DanešZur Person:Jaroslav Daneš arbeitet in der Abteilung Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften an der Universität Hradec Králové.
